Sweden: Marcus & Martinus dethrone Loreen! | Melodifestivalen 2023 is a game of three, according to the odds!

We are almost done with all the heats of Melodifestivalen 2023 and it’s just a day after the Fourth Heat, when Marcus & Martinus with the song “Air” won the first voting round and directly qualified to the finals.

The bets

Over the last few days, Maria Sur had managed to surpass Loreen in betting odds, as the latter was the absolute favourite even before Loreen’s song “Tattoo” got published. Loreen managed to overturn the betting odds a day after that happened.

It was always between them two, Marcus and Martinus were third and at a secure distance from the second place, where Maria Sur was. Things however happened quite fast, after the performance of Marcus & Martinus, who seem to have wowed not only the Swedish (and international) public who generously cast their vote by sending her directly in Stockholm and Friends Arena, to compete in the final of March the 11th, but also the betting companies, which now consider them to be the favourite to win and represent Sweden this year.

Loreen has now dropped (once more) to second place with odds starting at 2.58 and reaching 2.3. In third and fourth place we see Maria Sur and Jon Henrik Fjällgren, Arc North feat. Adam Woods respectively. Kiana is predicted to place fifth and Mariette sixth at the moment of writing.

The betting odds depend on many factors and as these factors are subject to changes anytime, the odds can still fluctuate, even last minute.

Let’s see what is going to happen, when we will get the chance to watch the actual shows live, on SVT and SVT Play. Of course at EurovisionFun you will get the chance to be informed about the results as soon as they are announced on TV!

Who do you thing will be selected to represent Sweden in Liverpool, this year?
